Its maximum torque of 350 Newton-metres at 2,000 rpm is equivalent to a large-size diesel engine, the company said, with exceptionally high fuel efficiency of 18.9 Km/L.

Working together with the nine-speed automatic transmission provides superior acceleration and fuel efficiency with a CO2 emission rate of 141 g/km, Honda said.

The new Honda CR-V will be available with two alternative engines, diesel and benzene.

“To perfectly meet all lifestyles, all variants come with seven-seat passenger capacity and equipped with a full range of advanced safety features and advanced function technologies,” Honda said. “This results in the all-new Honda CR-V being a more premium SUV compared to its previous generations.”
